Emily

“You two headed out?” Crawford asked as Spencer and I approached him.

Spencer nodded and looked at me. “Yeah, I need to get Emily back so that Dr. Beck can examine her. I’ve arranged to have him meet us at the house in a few hours and I don’t want to keep him waiting,” he explained, wrapping a protective arm around my shoulders. It felt good to know that he cared so much about my well-being. “You guys have everything handled here?”

Crawford nodded his head and said, “Of course. You go ahead, boss. I’ll see to it that everything is taken care of. Did you want one of the guys to escort you back?”

“Oh, no. That won’t be necessary,” he said with a distant look in his eyes. “I think the threat has been taken care of and we can all sleep soundly tonight knowing that.” Spencer clenched his jaw, masking his emotions.

I really had no idea how he felt about everything that had happened and honestly, I was afraid to ask, but I made a mental note to check on him later, after all the dust had settled.

“Alright, then. You two drive safe. I don’t think I can handle another crisis. We’ve officially met our quota for the rest of the year,” Crawford joked. And then he turned to me, a serious look on his face and said, “Miss Prescott, I’m glad you’re going to be okay. We all are. And trust me when I say: this man,” he gestured to Spencer, “loves you with everything he’s got. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

I had never met Agent Crawford before tonight, but something about him felt familiar—safe. I couldn’t put my finger on why, but I liked him. His gaze was warm, fatherly and in that moment I had a deep longing to see my own father and my mom, too. It had been way too long and it was moments like this that really made me realize how lucky I was to have such loving parents in my life. I didn’t see them enough. I didn’t know if it was all the emotional and physical trauma I’d gone through in the past forty-eight hours or the fact that I had so many people who cared about me, but a single tear slipped down my cheek as I fought to hold back a whole tidal waves’ worth of them.

Finally, I managed to muster a weak reply. “Thank you, Agent Crawford. I really appreciate everything you guys did for me tonight. I just…I have no words,” I whispered. Then to both him and Spencer I said, “Thank you.” And I truly meant it—at least, the sane part of me did. I couldn’t help but notice, though, a small voice in my head that expressed some resentment about the fact that Calvin was now dead. Because of them. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but it was really starting to freak me out.

Spencer gently stroked my shoulder and pulled me in closer to him, kissing the top of my head.
